New Snow Bird culture

I've always heard of the snow birds heading down south in RV's, and maybe renting in the Sun City complexes.  But we've just met a whole group of them in our Las Vegas timeshare!  I would have never thought of that, but it's a great idea.  You come to Vegas in the winter, when things are slow, stay a couple of months, see a bunch of shows, maybe play some games.  These couples cook dinner and have a couple of get together's each week in the owners lounge.  They are all from the northern states, of course.  

We had a good time at the wine and cheese get together tonight.  I had a great time talking to a retired Caterpillar engineer, from Peoria.  He had some stories of the engineering problems that they've dealt with all over the world.  Sandy was talking to the wives about how to maximize the time share points and all the good travel deals out there. 

We've enjoyed ourselves this week in Vegas.  Sandy's down time before she starts a new job in Bakersfield, CA.  We've walked all over the southern strip, and are up about $400 this trip.  That's big time for me, because I never play big, but took a chance on a $5 slot machine tonight.  

Viva Las Vegas!
